I got two of these to make for my twin niece and nephew who live out of town. It was really quick and easy to do, and I love that it came with a frame so I didn't have to make a special trip to the craft store to finish them up.

Super-fast, super-easy, and an incredible piece for a parent to cherish forever. I made this as a gift for my neice's 1st birthday, after making the Handprints for a different person. I LOVE THESE PATTERNS!!

This was very easy and fast to complete.Loved it. Didn't like the frame, thought it was too cheap for such a unique gift that will surely become an heirloom.

Fast and easy! The colors flow beautifully. I made this as a gift for a baby shower and almost as soon as it was out of the bag it when up one the wall. I would recommend this design to anyone.

Chit Chat

I love this pattern but would like to make the finished product bigger. I've been stitching for a while but always just use what I'm given. Have not played around with making patterns larger or smaller. What do I use to make the pattern more of an 8 x 10?

I was wondering if I could use this to attach to the bottom of a minky blanket instead of framing it. My daughter wants one of those birth announcement minky blanket, but I co not have an embroidery machine to make one.

I just completed this stitchery and love it. I also have problems with the thin plastic frame and am going to take it to my local framer to be matted and framed. You could also use a purchased 5" x 7" frame or an 8"x10" frame with a 5"x7" mat. I do not like the charted alphabet because of the french knots (they made some of the letters illegible),so I used an alphabet from a different project. I also did the backstitch alphabet in DMC color 898, which blended with the teddy bear.
